Not for the owners because they are expensive when you buy them and when you service them. Scania is a part of Saab and they are expensive to. I know i worked at a Saab dealer.

The one you have is an old model that is not sold anymore.

When you make the kit watch out for the front axle. There is a fault in the kit witch sets one of the wheels ( i don't now if it's the right or the left wheel) in an un straight position.

Hello....your trucks are looking awesome. Do you have Italeri's Volvo FH16?

hardly do we see these here, the yellow one looks great

Ah, the Saab/Scania/Subaru connection would make sence since all three are then under the blanket of General Motors in some way.

Thanks for the tip. I've built bigger and more complex R/C cars than the Scania, but I'll admit it is daunting. The engine is nearly as big as the Subaru WRC included in the box.

Cool, you're also belgian and a VW lover
Can't wait to see your future projects.

As for the sand paper, I buy mine at automotive stores, at the bodywork department (like Auto5, Norauto, ...) . You can have 1000 and 1200 grits sheets for cheap.

Hi all

For TireGiant:

Yes i have the new volvo Fh 16 from Italeri on my to do pile. This one is becoming a mad man project for me.

In Sweden the maximum lenght is restricted to maximum 25.25 meters.
Here in Belgium the maximum lenght is restricted to 18 meters.
But the trucking companies want to raise it to 25.25 m like in sweden.
In the Netherlands they are already testing these trucks.
Result: I'm building my on swedish combo with a kit bash of 3 Italeri kits


like this example:





Expect to see my version this time next year. (Slow builder, lots of projects and not that mutch time)



As for deedlit: thanks for the info but i would like a higher grit
